Hello,

I am still in the process of transferring my old static website to Drupal - but still have some questions as to how to develop certain areas of the site. (http://www.sleddoggin.com)

It's basically one of the largest dog sledding communities online, and I just had a feeling that it was time to transfer to a CMS. I chose Drupal.

My big question now is how do you think I should go about creating an event calendar/race results area for race coordinators, etc...? I would love to have something similar or as in-depth as http://coolrunning.com/engine/1/index.shtml, where events are shown, you can choose your event by which locations, race types (distance, mid-distance, sprint), etc...

Any thoughts on different modules that might help?

Thanks!

You may want to play around with the Event module (http://drupal.org/project/event). In combination with CCK, you will have a new Event content type, and can configure a calendar layout in your nodes (month, week, day views). Posting content with the Event content type sticks the event to the cal, and then also links to a detailed event page. You can also tag the events and this enables searching by keyword, etc. There's a lot of possibilities with the Event module.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips. I will look into using that module. Looks like they are getting it up to par with drupal 6 too!
